Get a new perspective on Valve's excellent Alien Swarm

July 26th, 2010

PC Gamer has posted some rather obvious information about how to use the console to switch Alien Swarm from an overhead view to a first person view. But more importantly, they've discovered that it still plays well, and they've even posted the above video. The only thing missing is a roof!

Pretty nifty, but I'm attached to being able to see what's behind me. You can't always trust the other three players to watch your back. In fact, I think I'd rather play Left 4 Dead from an overhead perspective. What's the console command for that?

Left 4 Dead plushies show the cute and cuddly side of zombies

Left 4 Dead plushies show the cute and cuddly side of zombies

The Valve store kicks off its series of Left 4 Dead plushies with the above lovable boomer. He actually makes sounds from the game when you, I dunno, pull his string or squeeze his tummy or whatever it takes to make a plushie talk these days.

You can see the outlines of the other upcoming plushies at the Valve store. Expect a witch, a hunter, a smoker, and a tank. I'll be holding out for the witch. Although how plushy can a gaunt and dessicated witch be? At least I won't be afraid she'll burst in a shower of vomit if I squeeze her.
